Angela

I started out as a software developer back in 1996 in Denver, CO, doing Client/Server development in PowerBuilder. I am now a Data Architect, living in High Point, NC and I love what I do. I’ve worked with all versions of SQL Server since the infamous split from the Sybase code (a.k.a. version 4.21a). I’ve worn all the hats that come with dealing with SQL Server, developer to data architect and everything in between. Mastodon handle: @SQLSwimmer

Question of the Day

Post Restore Tasks for the Resource Database

I backup the Resource database from my SQL Server 2022 instance. I then install CUs 1, 2, 3, and 4. I have an issue and need to restore my Resource database from backup. Is there anything I need to do after restoring this database?
